Could someone please help me with this urgently, we got pentesters testing the siteminder environment which has led to this situation where the siteminder super user has lost all rights and has only permisions to mange password policies. We go no other admin user .How do we restore the siteminder user rights in quickest possible way!! tried smreg but it complains cannot find entry point to smutilities.dll!! any quick help to restore will be appreciated

The first thing I can think of if you are using siteminder user for the administrator then you should reset its password and register the adminui with policy server.

To register the adminui stop the policy server, stop the adminui, take the backup of data folder and delete it, restart all the services, run XPSRegclient command, and register the adminui with policy server.

It is not an issue with login , the password is fine it is the siteminder adminstration rights which are not available.cannot change or view anything apart from password policies in the FSS UI as well as the WAM UI . We have R12.52 installed.

Hence I tried out to see if a Legacy super user is visible via XPSSecurity and is allowed for modification. The option is available for modifying, however it is still unclear to me to what extent it would be helpful in this scenario. Worth a try, but at the end I just quit as I did not want to mess around

Nevertheless the issue is resolved.

Just a note for all, Please do remember we should always use tools from the same version of Policy Server. Even though smreg looks small, however there may be version specific changes embedded. Never use utilities across different version.
